Joy figures into artist's work, show

MOUNT DORA — Artist Marsha De Broske, above, demonstrates her distinctive sculpture techniques using Powertex liquid, which hardens on almost any porous surface, during a recent demonstration at the Mount Dora Center for the Arts.

Some of her works, below left, are on display at the center, 138 E. Fifth Ave., in "The Figure as Vehicle: A Creative Exploration by Artists John Carollo and Marsha De Broske."

The exhibit continues through March 2.

"There is no greater joy than creating. I continue to share that love with others through teaching," De Broske says in her artist statement on marshadebroske.com. "My art tries to capture the gesture and essence of the being I am creating. The sculptures are psychological and deal with universal feelings such as loneliness, detachment, fear, power, joy etc."
